The
TCPAAA organization was incorporated August 2, 2000. The Bylaws and Articles of Incorporation were
written and approved by the Board of Directors. Those Board members were: John Bryan, Marvin Pugh,
Rebecca Cavanaugh-Miller, Tim Stanford, Patricia Steinhausen, Barbara
Stewart, Steve Brown, Max Loomis, and June Kuehn.

The Bylaws and bank account were established by the Alumni Association. The bank account was established for the dues that are collected. That account is maintained by Carol Morris (Treasurer). It is currently at North Valley Bank.

There
are nine Board member positions. Of those nine there are three
Officer positions. The Officers are elected by the Board to those
positions. They are currently: President, Secretary and Treasurer. There are six other Board
members at large. There is no Vice President. Elections
for the Board are held on the last Wednesday of each May at the time
of the annual general membership meeting. The Officers are voted on
by the Board.

Dues
are collected each December for annual membership. Membership runs
from January 1 thru December 31 each year. They are used to cover
all expenses of the Alumni Association, i.e. mailing supplies, promotional
materials, and /or anything needed to sustain the organization including fees for the State of Colorado to retain a non-profit organization.

We have donated money to the police department for Officer
training as well as sending an Officer to the national citizens police
academy convention. In the event of an officer injury we extend help to the
families of those officers.

There
are no monthly meetings for the general membership at this time. Our
monthly meetings currently are continuing education classes held from
September thru May. We have found this to be a better way of using
our members time as we have learned that when a regular monthly
meeting is scheduled we have a poor turn out.

We
are currently members of the National Citizens Police Academy
Association.
